Inflation is like when everything in the store costs more. Usually, that means people have to spend more money, and it’s harder for everyone. But sometimes, even though prices go up, inflation drops, it's like the store raised prices a little, but not as much as expected, so it feels easier on your wallet.
Examples
- At the grocery store, everything costs $1 more, but you're buying twice as much because you have a new job.
- The restaurant you love raises its prices by 20%, but most other places only go up by 5%.
